If you provide your mobile phone number and consent to receive SMS messages, we may use your number to send communications related to the Dental Hygiene Month Party.

These messages may include registration confirmations, Event reminders, schedule updates, time-sensitive deadlines, giveaway or prize notifications, and other Event-related communications.

Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchase and is not required to attend DHMP, purchase merchandise or a swag box, make a donation, enter a giveaway, or win a prize.

You may opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP. Reply HELP for assistance or contact us at hello@dentalhygienemonthparty.com.

Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties for their marketing or promotional purposes.

Mobile phone numbers, SMS opt-in information, and SMS consent records will not be sold, rented, or shared with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

We may use service providers solely as necessary to deliver and support our messaging program. These providers may process information on our behalf but are not permitted to use SMS opt-in information or consent for their own marketing purposes.
